View and edit files in the browser

Files found on the internet can be viewed directly in Yandex.Browser. By default, files in supported formats open in the browser immediately after you download them. If a site owner doesn't allow you to open files in your browser automatically, the file will download to your computer instead. You can open it manually in the browser. You can control the appearance of files in your browser window as you view them and bookmark pages in ebooks.

Open files in the browser

The first time you download a file in an office format, the View and edit documents page opens where you can select from several options:

To view files in the browser, click Always open in Browser.

If you don't want to open files in the browser, click Do not open documents in Browser.

Open a downloaded file manually

Use one of these options:

Open the folder with the file and drag the file to your browser window.

In the browser window, press Ctrl + O and select the appropriate file.

Edit files

You can use Yandex.Disk to edit documents, tables, and presentations that are open in the browser. Just click Edit at the top of the page. For more information, see the Edit documents section in the Yandex.Disk Help.

View PDF files

To change the way a file is displayed, hold your cursor in the upper half of the browser and use the icons in the viewing panel.
